Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a system for managing electronic messages, and particularly, to a system for managing delivery of electronic messages according to the message recipient's preferences.
- Electronic mail, or e-mail provides a convenient and easy means for two or more individuals to communicate electronically.
- E-mail systems today help users send text-based and binary messages through extensive communication networks so that two or more users, who may be in remote locations, can communicate.
- E-mail may also be used for delivery of important business, financial, sports and other types of information from centralized repositories.
- the use of e-mail today has become so pervasive that many users now need a way to manage the influx of messages sent to their electronic mailboxes.
- Some e-mail systems today provide more sophisticated mechanisms — sometimes referred to as "filter and forward" mechanisms — for sorting, selecting, and responding to messages.
- users may define specific criteria — or rules — by which messages are presented and handled in order to meet their personal preferences. For example, users define a rule so that all incoming messages are routed automatically to a different mailbox or perhaps, a paging device.
- a rule may be defined so that an incoming message triggers the automatic sending of a related message to a specific group of users.
- Another rule may result in the sorting and presentation of messages according to a priority assigned by the sender.
- Some systems may allow users to define a list of senders from whom the recipient is willing to receive messages while all other messages are discarded automatically. Some systems may also allow users to accept only those messages relating to particular topics. In many instances, messages may be presented according to a combination of preferences or rules
- e-mail systems may apply the rules at different times. For example, in many e-mail systems responsibility for the filtering and forwarding of messages is distributed among the servers responsible for distributing the messages to individual users. If the recipient's server is not available, then the rules are not applied. Therefore, a message that should be forwarded to interested parties will not be sent until the recipient's server is available to apply the rules and perform the necessary actions. As a result, there may be a significant time delay between the time that a message is sent and the time that other interested parties learn of the message. Even if the server is available, time delays may result because the message must go to the server responsible for servicing the recipient before the rules are applied. If the recipient has defined a rule for the message to be forwarded automatically, the message makes an unnecessary, intermediate stop at the server before being forwarded according to the intended
- Rules may also be applied when messages arrive at a client that performs mail services. However, significant time delays may result if the client is not available. In addition, network traffic may increase as messages from the client must travel to a central distribution point before being forwarded to the appropriate location. The same problems that exist when a server apphes rules late in the distribution process are present when a client applies the rules. The forwarding of messages to others is delayed until the message arrives at the client and the client is able to apply the rules.
- the present invention addresses the problems that result when filter and forward rules are applied to electronic messages late in the distribution process.
- message management rules defined by the intended recipient are applied soon after the originator sends the message so that messages may be forwarded or new messages generated and sent to other users regardless of whether the message may be delivered immediately to the intended recipient.
- users specify message selection criteria based on attributes of incoming messages.
- users specify the action to be associated with messages that meet the selection criteria.
- a distributor then apphes the rules at the beginning of the message distribution process so that the intended recipient's specified actions are carried out even if the intended recipient is unable to receive the message.
- the rule definition and application services are provided by an information service that has the ability to support a large number of users and the ability to accept incoming messages from a variety of other sources.
- Figure 1 is a flow chart of the steps for defining rules to be applied to a recipient's incoming messages
- Figure 2 is a diagrammatic view of the system organization for a preferred
- Figure 3 is a flow chart of the steps for applying the user-defined rules to a recipient's incoming messages.
- Figure 4 is a flow chart of the steps for applying the rules during message distribution.
- User A may be, but is not required to be, a subscriber of the information service. User A may use other means for connecting to the information service without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
- User A's message may pass through one or more information service mail servers before User C's workstation 22 may retrieve it via a modem 20. In some instances, the servers through which the message passes perform one or more operations on the message before sending it to the next server. Additionally, one server may call another server to provide information necessary to complete an operation.
- User C's message delivery preferences are examined to determine if any special rules should be applied to User A's message.
- the information service distributor 18 is responsible for applying the rules to User A's message. If, for example, User C wants a copy of all messages from User A to be sent directly to Users B 26 and D 28, the distributor will ensure that arrangements are made to send User A's message 24 to Users B and D, even if User C's electronic mailbox is unavailable or User C is not logged in.
- Figure 2 shows the organization of servers responsible for the rule definition and application as well as message distribution.
- the rule definition process begins with the user
- the user specifies the range of dates during which each rule will be active 14. Another selector may be an importance value such as high, normal, or low 16.
- a message type, such as text or binary, may be specified 18.
- the user may specify a subject or originator value 20, 22.
- the user specifies a message action to be performed when the message selection criteria are met 24.
- the actions described herein are exemplary only. Other actions may be specified as well without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. If the associated action is to create a new message 26, then preferably, the user specifies a list of new message recipients as well as a subject and body for the new message 28. Other options may be specified for the new message such as importance or type. If the associated action is to forward the message 30, then preferably, the user specifies the forwarding address 32. If the associated action is to delete the incoming message 36, then preferably, an indicator for this action is associated with the message selection criteria 36.
- step 38 the validity of the rule is established so that the distributor is able to carry out the specified actions when the message selection criteria are met.
- step 40 the valid rules are stored for later retrieval by the distributor. The same process may be used to define multiple rules. Preferably, the user is given the option of specifying an order in which the rules should be applied to incoming messages.
- the message is sent to a mail server capable of retrieving information about the recipient 12.
- the mail server determines whether the recipient has defined rules for incoming messages 14. If the recipient has not defined message management rules, then the message is delivered directly to the recipient 16. If the recipient has defined
- the recipient's rules are retrieved 18 and applied to the message 20. Finally, the message is delivered according the rules 22. For example, if the
- the server and distributor coordinate activities to ensure that the new message is created according to the rules specified by the recipient and that the new message is delivered to each of the 5 other users.
- the retrieval and application of the message management rules are performed by a distributor working in conjunction with one or more mail servers.
- the rule retrieval and application and message delivery functions may be performed by one entity. Additionally, the functions may be performed by several entities. More important than the number of entities involved is the point at which the rules are applied. The present invention apphes the rules soon after the message is sent by the originator so that greater efficiencies result.
- the ability of the distributor to interpret user-defined rules and arrange for delivery of message based on those rules is unique to the present invention.
- the intended recipient's rules for message management are carried out regardless of whether the intended recipient is able to receive the message because the rules are apphed substantially at the primary point of distribution.
